Some of the comorbidities and secondary complications of stroke can threaten the patient's life or cause serious pain or negatively affect the patient's involvement in rehabilitation or worsen daily life activities or make it difficult to bring the patient into the community and workplace. This chapter focuses on the symptoms and signs, diagnosis, and management of these comorbidities and complications. It highlights diagnosis and treatment of cardiac problems, sleep disorders, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, dysphagia, malnutrition, and pneumonia. Depression, central post-stroke pain, upper limb problems after stroke, spasticity, bladder dysfunction are also discussed in this chapter.
